New Room has an Echoooooooo

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share you ideas and experiences.

Hello,
I finally moved into my listening room, and as expected, there is a bit of a bass boom that needs taming, and the reverb time accentuates the highs and makes it too bright and shrill. My question is, where do I start, to evaluate: what kind of absorbers are needed and where to place them? I played with some cheap foam pads (4' x 6' x 4") behind the speakers and the listening position and found they made a nice improvement in added clarity, but not sufficient.
Room is 21'8" X 15' x 7'9". The walls & ceiling are dbl. sheetrock on RC, the floor is 1/2" carpet, 1/2" carpet pad over plywood, over 1" rock wool board,over 1" t&g plywood.
Thanks for your help
